"""Ame Grata! Ame Pura! Born of a lineage of successes, the Purples “Cohort Pura” in Rotharian, are a widely belovedteam, with a long history traced back to the foundation of the Liriate some 60 years ago. The Purples are the only major sports team in Savoca who have maintained a consistent chain of command ever since their founding, with the team’s current director former Military Staten Azin An-Nazur being appointed to the position upon the retirement of Julios Ais Karsten, the former director.""The Purples are most famous for the grace of their movements, and the complexity of their tactics. Unlike their competitors, the Purples tend to favor complicated chains of command, and intricate stratagems. The Purples have found themselves as the favored team of the upper classes, and the intelligentsia. Cohort Captain Krikor Mattas was signed on to the team just last year, and his recruitment has spurred much discussion. Krikor, unlike the greenhorn Vario Valena, is a veteran captain having served in the Imperial Navy in Nara and having participated in the 9th siege of Abrutta. The Purples are the hands down favorite to win this years Liriate, as they have for the past decade, and their victory is all but assured – That is, unless the upstart Reds can pull off what would be the greatest upset in Liriate history."
